hotkey binding command (better version) Thanks @smilingverb

locate home media | rofi -threads 0 -width 100 -dmenu -i -p "locate:" | xargs -r -0 xdg-open

hotkey binding command (alternative version with colors without needing ~/.Xresources)

xdg-open "$(locate home media | rofi -threads 0 -width 100 -color-window "#000000, #000000, #000000" -color-normal "#000000, #b3e774, #000000, #b3e774, #000000" -color-active "#000000, #b3e774, #000000, #b3e774, #000000" -color-urgent "#000000, #b3e774, #000000, #b3e774, #000000" -dmenu -i -p "locate:")"
